Delight in these rich and crunchy Butterfinger Balls, a no-bake treat combining creamy peanut butter, buttery crumbs, and sweet crushed Butterfinger bars coated in smooth melted chocolate. Perfect for holiday celebrations or anytime indulgence.

Ingredients

Scale

Base Mixture

  • 4 tablespoons softened butter (½ stick)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup peanut butter (avoid all-natural varieties)
  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • ¾ cup graham cracker crumbs
  • ½ cup Butterfinger bars, crushed

Coating

  • 8 ounces chocolate bark or chocolate chips

Optional Garnishes

  • Additional crushed Butterfinger bars
  • Festive sprinkles
  • Coarse sea salt

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Dough: In a mixing bowl, combine the softened butter and peanut butter. Using an electric or stand mixer set to medium speed, blend until the mixture is creamy and uniform.
  2. Add Aromatic Notes: Incorporate the vanilla extract and continue blending thoroughly to evenly distribute the flavor.
  3. Sweeten the Deal: Gradually add the powdered sugar in increments, blending at a low speed. Scrape down the sides of the bowl as needed to ensure even mixing and a smooth dough.
  4. Crunch Time: Gently fold in the graham cracker crumbs and crushed Butterfinger bars until just combined, preserving the texture.
  5. Shape ’em Up: Line a large cookie sheet with parchment paper. Scoop about 1 to 1½ tablespoons of dough each time, roll into neat balls, and place on the prepared sheet.
  6. Chilling Phase: Freeze the dough balls on the sheet for approximately 30 minutes, or until they are completely firm and ready for dipping.
  7. Melting the Chocolate: Transfer the chocolate bark or chips to a microwave-safe bowl. Heat in 30-second intervals at 50% power, stirring between each interval until smooth with some lumps remaining, which will melt as you stir.
  8. Coat and Decorate: Submerge each chilled ball into the melted chocolate until fully coated or partially coated as desired. Place back onto the parchment-lined sheet.
  9. Finishing Touches: While the chocolate is still wet, sprinkle with additional crushed Butterfinger bars, festive sprinkles, or a pinch of flaky sea salt for an extra pop of flavor and texture.
  10. The Grand Finale: Allow the chocolate coating to solidify completely at room temperature or in the refrigerator before serving and indulging in your Butterfinger Bliss Balls.

Notes

  • Store Butterfinger Balls in an airtight container and refrigerate for up to one week to maintain freshness.
  • Use conventional peanut butter brands like Jif or Skippy, as all-natural or oil-separated varieties may affect texture and consistency.
  • Chocolate bark offers a smoother texture for coating, but a mix of chocolate bark and chocolate chips or tempered chocolate chips works well too.
  • You may melt the chocolate using a double boiler over low to medium-low heat as an alternative to the microwave to prevent overheating.
